🥩 Beef emits 31 times more CO2 per calorie of food than tofu does. Doing without beef from live cattle is hard to imagine, but the same was true of coal 100 years ago https://t.co/52PrrK4BLm

Podcast Questions:

1. Canadian beef now requiring warning label [19:27]

Paul says

Hey, Robb and Nikki

I'm a long time listener and love all the amazing information you guys provide. It has been instrumental in my health journey.

It was just recently announced that the Canadian government will now start putting warning labels on foods high in sugars, sodium and saturated fats. I agree with warning labels for sugars, but fear that putting a warning label on beef products may have a detrimental affect on the industry. What's your thoughts?

Thanks

Paul

2. GABA [25:40]

Lindsey says

Hello

I'd love to hear you talk about GABA supplement. Theres a product sold by Ned CBD that is called Mello - has magnesium and helps you relax/sleep. I love it and wanted to share with my Dad who struggles with good sleep. He's concerned about this ingredient and won't take it, he's had A-fib surgery. Really appreciate your insight!! Thanks, love the show and your information!

3. Paleolithic-Era Average Life Expectancy [27:54]

Rob says:

Hi, I've been following your work and others' in the field of ancestral health for many years now. I would like to think I've reached a point of knowledge/information saturation where I now only listen to very few podcasts in this genre, yours being my favorite because I really appreciate your logic and sense of humour.

I've heard a lot about paleolithic-era short average life expectancy, high infant mortality rates (and death due to accidents/traumas), absent of chronic diseases in hunters-gatherers who get to live into old age.

My question is very simple, couldn't it be that these are all very much related? Putting it bluntly, that high infant mortality + deaths from accidents/traumas are significantly "naturally selecting" out those who will otherwise live on and develop chronic diseases in the future (as I'm pretty sure all living organisms rarely just die randomly in nature). That they simply lived/live in such unforgiving environments that chronic diseases couldn't be afforded to manifest, and that it might be a survival bias behind what's more of a correlation than a causation?
